Véry nice. Classic combination.
-
Ah thanks! That's great to hear. Which colour did you get?
-
That burst almost looks 2 tone, gorgeous indeed.
-
But the movie (and the music) is not about blues. It's about brothers called Blues. They never claim to play blues music.
-
Ray was one of the originators of soul music, one of the first to mix blues, R&B and gospel music.

One of my favourite movies ever. The other albums they made (especially Briefcase Full of Blues) are great as well. Donald Dunn in top shape, Steve Jordan on drums... Big recommendation as well is the Donald Dunn bass book, that includes a few transcriptions from the movie

Hurray! Back at six Jazzes. From left to right: Sadowsky MetroExpress JJ5 (with Aguilar pickups), Blade B2 Tetra Bass (with Lollar pickups and Aguilar preamp), 1966 Fender Jazz, Lakland Joe Osborne, 2001 Fender Standard Jazz Bass fretless (with Wicked pickups), De Gier Bebop 5 (with Wicked pickups).

Well, here she is.

If this feels and sounds the way it looks, I'd certainly not be bothered by replacement pots.
-
Honestly I really don't care about originality in vintage basses (depending on the price of course). If the price it's right, it's a good bass, get it. Especially if the pickups are still original. Pots don't bother me in the slightest.

Well, thanks UPS. They shipped my new bass from Tamworth to Amsterdam (where I live). And then to Stanford. And then to Amsterdam. And then to Stanford. And now it's on its way to Amsterdam for the third time in two days. Great.
-
Just got word that UPS is picking up my new bass at Andy Baxter's today. Can't wait.

What bass are you getting @BassAgent?

Had a gig with the ABBA tribute last night and boy, that little Sadowsky is one of the cheapest basses I own but it's very quickly growing to be one of my favourites. What an amazing instrument.

A few weeks ago, I played a bass that I had probably played in 2001 for the last time. At the time I was 11 years old and was looking for my first fretless bass. At the local music store they had two Yamahas (I really wanted a Yamaha because I already had a fretted Yamaha): an RBX270F and an amber TRB5IIF, which was quite a bit more expensive. I really liked the TRB, though, and réally wanted to have it. Unfortunately my parents found it too expensive at the time and I got the RBX which I really enjoyed for a few years. Two weeks back I interviewed a bass player for my podcast. She has quite a nice collection, including a fretless amber TRB5II. I told her this story, and she said: well, I bought this exact bass around that time in that very shop. There weren't many of these basses around then (especially there) so chances are pretty big that it's the very same bass. It still felt...special. Somehow. So now, I'm trying to buy the bass that I wanted to own 21 years ago. I hope it's going to work out. That would be quite something.
-
Exactly! I've been playing NYE with my 90's cover band for 7 years and that was always great fun too. The band quit a few years back and this is an excellent replacement.
-
I'm playing with my ABBA tribute in Breda, in the south of NL Not a big fan of the holidays so very happy to be working.

Somebody sent me this just now: A couple of things are weird to me: -This bass is an obvious refin, and not a very good one. Why didn't they say so? Why keep that information from the owner? -Why, when he knew the bass could be worth 12 grand (which in my view is pretty optimistic for a refin '60 P), did the owner agree to only $2,000 for the bass? -They kept the electronics original but also re-wired it? I get they want to make it functional again of course but why contradict themselves? Other than that: absolutely gorgeous bass.
-
It is! Andy suggested not to ship it before New Year's because the payment probably won't arrive before Tuesday, which would make it difficult to have the bass arrive before Christmas. So to avoid the risk of having the bass sit in a cold shipping facility somewhere we've agreed to postpone shipping until January.
-
So here's a nice announcement: shortly after New Year's (hurray for mail not working after Christmas) this gorgeous machine is going to come my way:
-
So it's going to take a while because I've agreed with Andy Baxter to wait with shipping until after New Year's (to prevent pointless storage in transit) but this absolutely gorgeous 44-60 with Fralin pickups is coming my way. Can't wait.

Moog have just relaunched the (hardware) Model D!!!
BassAgent replied to Quatschmacher's topic in Other Instruments
The previous Model D reissue from a few years back was very good and cost around $4K. This is supposed to be about twice as expensive. Blimey. -
Was scammed yesterday; I've been looking for a Danelectro 59 single cut for a while now. Got a message from someone who sold one, living 2 hours away, for a decent price. So I got in my car, drove for over 2 hours (darn traffic) and the person nor the bass existed.
